Intermediate Microeconomics: An Intuitive Approach with Calculus 1st Edition by Thomas Nechyba
Quick Navigation

Overview

This EMEA adaptation of Thomas Nechyba’s popular text follows the author's five primary goals for any microeconomics course by presenting the subject as a way of looking at the world, showing students how and why the world works, how to think more clearly and develop conceptual thinking skills, and by providing a flexible learning style and a roadmap for further study. Each chapter follows the A and B structure developed by Professor Nechyba, allowing students to explore an intuitive approach in Part A and then focus on how the intuitive approach can be represented mathematically in Part B.
